Mango Mocktail | Mango Welcome Drink | Mango Summer Drink

Mango Mockail Drink

I had promised that I will post more mango recipes in CLP so that all of you can try them and enjoy this lovely seasonal fruit. Honestly I love to just cut a ripe mango and eat them straight without even peeling the skin. But life has changed for me right from the time food became an object of interest and blogging has made me to try new recipes and try my own variations. So when I had a dozen mangoes at home, I literally planned what all recipes to try and here goes. We all know the usual mango milkshake, mango lassi and mango juice recipes, I wanted to try a mocktail recipe with mangoes for long. Last week we went for a friend's wedding and the welcome drink served there was Mango mocktail and my mind was quickly trying to grasp the flavours in that drink. I then tried to recreate the same at home and vola it was spot on the first time I tried it. Moacktails are non-alcoholic fruit based drinks that has a combination of fruits that give a unique flavour.

Cooks Wisdom

Tip 1

1. Replace sweet lime to oranges in the recipe.

Tip 2

2. You can use 1/4 cup pineapple juice too instead of pineapple essence, do not add more than that then the juice will be overpowered by pineapple.

Tip 3

3. You can also pour this juice into popsicle moulds and make ice lollies out of it. They will taste so good.

Looks amazingly refreshing.. I love mango juice, especially kdd harvest’s mango juice that tastes exactly like the fruit. I love homemade juices as well. I will try making this juice this weekend. Thank you for sharing.
